My car started right up at the used car lot. All was well until three months later; the car started stalling for no apparent reason. Several times, I was nearly hit by trucks and cars while trying to manuever the car off the road. After stalling, the car started up within 20 minutes.
I needed new brakes after 4 months.
The moon roof panel became stuck after coming off its tracks.
Some rust has started to form on the bottom of the car.
I was lucky to find a good mechanic who replaced the spark plugs, wires, rotor, blew out the fuel injectors and did some other magic. The car is now running very well. It cannot compare to the quality of my previous 1991 Toyota Camry, which was the best car I've ever owned, hands down. I have owned at least 8 cars so far.
It cost over $1150.00 to correct the stalling problem. I believe it was worth it because the car now runs very well. The power has substantially increased and the car starts on the first crank; no more stalling (fingers crossed).
I have read several on-line reviews of this make and model, and believe it should have been recalled because it was so dangerous to stall without warning, in all kinds of weather.
Apart from the moonroof, everything you've had to repair is fair wear and tear on a nine year old car.
